Amabel Holland has designed board games that tackle the struggle to end slavery, women’s suffrage, and the highly personal topic of gender transition, referring to them as “political art.” What can board games say that other art forms can’t?

Among all the complaints I ever get about the FFG version of Cosmic Encounter, griping about the "The" in "The Claw" makes me laugh the hardest.

Gran sesión de euros OG, Rise & Fall (golazo de @celacanto.bsky.social) y Kreta. Era mi primera partida a ambos y me han gustado mucho, espero repetir pronto!

Interesante, parece basado en Arabian Struggle (que me parece un perfecto wargame CDG ligero y de introducción) y sobre un conflicto poco o nada tratado en juegos de mesa.
We signed a contract with Rémi Dekoninck to publish his game Guerra de los Mil Dias, the Columbian revolution of 1899-1902. This will be another Conflict of Wills game, and our first game in South America!

The fact that it died exactly how it started and no lessons were learned surprises me not. I find Sandy Petersen vile. Yet, so many in our industry still were happy to work with him shrugs emoji

Segunda partida al Age of Rail South Africa, a 5. Muy rico, juegazo. Creo que es mi favorito de los cube rails que he probado. Cada decisión y cada $ pagado afecta a todos. En el mapa puede haber mucho incentivo cruzado pero también bloqueos salvajes. Con ganas de darle a las expansiones!
